I enjoyed designing this pair of Oak doors with a Gothic touch, here seen from the kitchen side going to the entrance vestibule in our apartment. This is a time for opening doors. -CH #door#doors#oak#gothic#kitchen#vestibule#opendoors#doubledoors#christopherhyland#architect #interiorelevation #classicarchitect #newtraditional #apartment #decorator #kitchendesign #craftsmanship #icaa #decoratorsclub #homedecorating #doorknob #lionheaddoorknobs #brass #molding

HISTORY: In 1910 The Agri Industrialist, James Deering, began his plans for a European Villa in Miami. Mr. Deering hired artist & designer Paul Chalfin as his Owners representative. Chalfin was responsible for hiring architect F. Burrall Hoffman, formally with the Carrere & Hastings, a renowned Beaux-Art architecture firm in New York. Additionally, Chalfin hired Columbian born Landscape Architect, Diego Suarez.
The inspiration for Deering’s Villa was Palladio’s Villa Rezzonico, located in the Veneto. Along with Chalfin they toured the Italian region collecting many architectural pieces to be incorporated in Vizcaya. Villa Vizcaya was completed & showcased on Christmas day, 1915. Subsequently the Gardens were completed a few years later due to lack of labor and Word War I.

SKETCHING BENEDICT SATURDAY: An Exploration of Jacques Benedict’s Works

CULLEN-THOMPSON MOTOR COMPANY:
One of the few commercial buildings designed by Jacques Benedict, the Cullen-Thompson Motor Company, was built in 1926. The three-story terra cotta-clad structure was designed and built to house an automobile salesroom for Chrysler. The exuberant Gothic style building had projecting rooftop finials and stained-glass windows, including some featuring the winged Chrysler symbol. The expansive showroom was outfitted with a grand staircase and large windows, which allowed those who were passing by to catch a glimpse of the gleaming vehicles parked inside. The interior included intricate detailing on the walls and ceilings and large ramps that permitted the movement of automobiles to upper stories. A Dodge dealership in Shanghai, China, requested and received permission to replicate the design there. The beauty of the structure has been commented upon in architectural circles all over the world. When the structure was taken over in 1971 by Gart Sports it quickly became what many know it as today, the Sports Castle.

Seth Haroun-al-Rashid was one of the greatest contractors in history. He alone, for the most part, interpreted the drawings of a self taught, brilliant architect Sir Edwin Lutyens into what would become a built world aesthetic sensation, and the final incubator for two totally new countries, India and Pakistan. One of my all time favorites, then Government House, now Rashtrapati Bhavan, the residence of the President of India, is every bit as magnificent as the Taj Mahal. Most intriguing about the house al Rashid and Lutyens achieved is it’s easy, dignified, synthesis of so many styles, so many periods, all elements expertly crafted. If in the built world such enduring harmony may be achieved by blending so many traditions, then surly we may all make every effort to build among us community that celebrates our unique differences and draws strength from fusing them. Lutyens and al-Rahsid left us a large guide post. -CH #sethharounalrashid#edwinlutyens#governmenthouse#viceroyshouse#newdelhi#rajpath#rashtrapatibhavan#india#pakistan#harmony #style #architecture #contractor #buildingcontractor #builder #generalcontractor #greathouse #finesthouse #palace #designer #designfusion #fusion #tajmahal #faboritehouse #oldhouselovers #icaa #classicarchitect #craftman #

Throwback Thursday to Chadsworth Founder Jeffrey L. Davis’ trip to Ireland with the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art. Through collaboration between the ICAA and Classical Excursions, meticulously curated tours draw industry professionals who seek an immersive cultural experience, from architects to manufacturers to Peter Lyden, President of the ICAA. This week-long journey took its participants through some of the most notable houses and estates of the country, including Ballyfin.
. . .
Ballyfin in County Laois was built in the 1820s for Sir Charles Coote and designed by architects Sir Richard and William Morrison. After falling to disrepair, a decade of restoration was made possible in large part to a significant fundraising effort by the Irish Georgian Society. The Ballyfin of the 21st century is a five star luxury hotel, event space, and sprawling property with an abundance of amenities and activities.
. . .
Pictured here, Ballyfin’s Stair Hall features cantilevered stairs and an elegant dropped down chandelier. Replications of the Tower of the Winds columns line the perimeter. On the main floor of the hall, portraits of the Coote family adorn the walls. Now a true representation of its original intended style, Ballyfin is painstakingly decorated. The reception rooms and guest rooms all feature an expansive and impressive collection of Irish art and antiques. The property itself is over 600 acres and recognized for its exquisite gardens, auxiliary structures, and follies.
